" When I booked in to see Catherine at Menopause and Wellness I was not in a good place. I was not sleeping, was grumpy and irritable and I felt that I wanted to divorce my husband. I was also struggling at work due to brain fog and feeling exhausted all the time. I had been to see my GP to talk about HRT, but she told me I should avoid it due to my grandmother having had breast cancer.
A friend recommended I book in to see Catherine and I am so glad that I did. Catherine took the time to explain what was happening to me hormonally and why I was feeling the way that I did. She reassured me that there are different types of hormones in HRT and that I could safely be treated with HRT. She took time to tell me what to expect when being treated with HRT and I felt very well informed and confident in what to expect when I started HRT.
HRT has been life changing for me and I feel like my old self again. I no longer want to divorce my husband, and he jokes that he does not want to see me stop taking HRT! I cannot believe that I struggled on for so long without help when what I needed was HRT. I cannot thank Catherine enough for her support in believing what I was going through, validating that it was menopause and treatable and treating me with HRT that included testosterone. If you are struggling with menopause book in to see Catherine - she will help you".

"I went into full perimenopause at 32 and around the same time was diagnosed with ADHD. I was struggling with work, my weight, and family life, and felt like I was constantly trying to keep my head above water.
For me, ADHD medication only seemed to help with one symptom, so I continued to push for support around perimenopause after finding research showing that women with ADHD can experience perimenopause symptoms earlier. Time and time again I was told I was too young and that it must be something else, but I kept advocating for myself because I knew something wasn’t right.That’s when I found Rebecca and the team at Menopause & Wellness.
For the first time I felt listened to, validated, and supported.Not long after starting HRT, I noticed a huge improvement in many of the symptoms that had been affecting my daily life, including brain fog, exhaustion, sore joints, itchy skin, anxiety, and feelings of rage and overwhelm.
The difference it has made to my family life has been incredible.Thank you Rebecca and the team at Menopause & Wellness for listening, believing me, and helping me get my life back."

“After four years of suffering symptoms a work colleague talked to me about the work Menopause and Wellness is doing to help women with menopause. I was scared of HRT and thought that was all there was to help women going through menopause so I sat on it for a couple of weeks and then took the plunge to see Julia. When I saw her I was feeling scared that things would never be the same again and that my life was on a downward spiral. Thank you for helping me Julia! She validated what I felt and explained why I was feeling like this. I felt like I finally had an ally who really got what was going on with me. With her help I am back to my old self enjoying life again. I am now recommending all my friends to go and see Julia too!"

"I would like to share how much I appreciated the care and support I received throughout my perimenopause journey with Menopause and Wellness. I was able to access my care via my workplace EAP, which really helped in this financial climate. Across all four appointments, I felt listened to, supported, and well guided. Millie was especially helpful and sent me a lot of beneficial information.
I have taken away so many valuable resources and insights, and I am beginning to feel better—slowly but surely. Thank you for providing such a wonderful service and for the positive difference it has made to my wellbeing.
Thank you again for your care, expertise, and support throughout this journey."

"Just a quick note to say OMG I cannot believe the difference HRT has made for me and so quickly! All of the worst of my Perimenopause symptoms are either significantly reduced or gone completely.About 4 days after starting just the Oestrogen patch, I woke up pain free with no achy joints for the first time in 15 months plus.

My frozen shoulder moves freely again, and I've progressively got my energy and zing back. My lovely neighbour even told me it looks like I have had a face lift! I have had no side effects, or if there are any they are so completely offset by the massive reduction in all the other perimenopause symptoms that I can't notice.This is life changing stuff, I am so glad I made the appointment, thank you so much!"

FAQs

For more information and advice get in touch today.

Where are you based and what areas do you cover?

Our team is based in Wellington where we can provide face-to-face, phone and video consults. We also provide menopause care and treatment outside of Wellington across New Zealand via phone or video consultations.

Do I need a referral letter from my GP?

You do not need a GP referral or any other type of referral to be seen by our clinical team. Women can simply book themselves in for an appointment using our online booking service.

How do I make an appointment?

All our appointments are made online using our booking system.

What can I expect at my initial appointment?

We understand that every woman’s experience is different and we work to support women to develop an individualised treatment plan suited to their own needs.

At your initial appointment we will assess your menopausal symptoms, review your personal medical history and then discuss suitable treatment options including both HRT and non- hormonal menopause treatment. We will then agree a suitable treatment plan and interventions to support the effective treatment of your menopausal symptoms. This can include Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), non-hormonal menopause treatment, health screening checks and lifestyle treatment options.
‍
Where Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is clinically indicated we believe in giving a woman choice on how to support this. We can support you with your HRT being prescribed and monitored through one of our team physicians. We can also support you with this through our partnership working with your own GP - whichever feels right for you.

What menopause treatment can you provide?

We offer treatment with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in line with global menopause society HRT treatment guidelines. We also offer nonhormonal, or a natural treatment called Menopause Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) which has been endorsed by both The British Menopause Society and North American Menopause Society as being an effective treatment for menopausal symptoms.
‍
Menopause CBT is suitable for all women. This includes women who have or have had breast cancer, have a family history of breast cancer or who are unable to be prescribed hormone replacement therapy (HRT) due to their medical history. Please note that Menopause CBT is different to other types of CBT. We provide Menopause CBT using the framework endorsed by the British Menopause Society and North American Menopause Society.
